About Us

We are a group of specialist Anaesthetists, caring for patients in various public and private hospitals across New South Wales.

Our office and secretarial staff are in Castle Hill, in Northwest Sydney.

We specialise in Anaesthesia for all types of surgical and medical procedures, pain management including emergencies and resuscitation. We also provide epidural analgesia in labour, for pregnant patients in the delivery suite. If your condition or type of surgery is complex, your Anaesthetist may wish to have a Consultation with you prior to the surgical admission. Otherwise the Pre Anaesthesia Consultation usually takes place in the hospital on the day of the operation.
